“Every human experiences emotional tragedy in a very different way. Depending on your experiences and adventures, you might find the tragedy of others not as saddening. It’s part of what makes us unique. It is also part of what makes understanding others often so very difficult. The passing is a story of tragedy and healing. May it be your own, may it be of others. May it help in healing you the way that writing music heals me.”

Ornaments is an instrumental post-rock band from Italy, featuring the two guitarist from The Death Of Anna Karina. This is their first full-lenght LP, an intense and dynamic trip into a dark fog fading into light, and then exploding, through a quite different selection of songs ending into a screamed voice in the last song “L’ora del corpo spaccato”. Well-polished sounds and accurate songwriting, make this album a milestone for this new year.

After releasing a digital debut EP “Falling Motion”, which got quite positive reactions from post rock fans all over the globe, Autism has released a brand new album “The Crawling Chaos”. This release contains 6 tracks, which came out sounding much heavier then their previous works, but the melodic guitars and the atmosphere is still the same. Yet, what really change is the use of spoken-vocal for reading fragments from H.P. Lovecraft “The Crawling Chaos” book.

Michel Anoia is a power trio augmented by two enslaved draftsmen, born in Lyon in 2012. The project’s key idea is a research on combining and synergising visuals and sounds in all the direction. The first project began with a 30 minute non-stop live set composed by the three musicians in which freaky animated images were projected on the band.

Being a visual project it’s hard to fully appreciate this work, still, if you’re into fast technical metal, grindcore and rhythms resembling that of The (early) Dillinger Plan Escape, you should give a listen.

SaffronKeira is a project established in 2008 by Eugenio Caria from the island of Sardinia, Italy. With SaffronKeira, Eugenio Caria lives out his passion of being a researcher of the possibility of expression offered by currently available technology. Indeed, in his tracks he experiments a lot with electronics and unconventional elements, which sometimes seem meaningless at first sight, but uncover their significance only on a closer examination. Combining subtle and sometimes even almost invisible rhythms with textures of sound he confidently moves between minimalistic pieces and classic ambient tracks which should please both the analytic ears and the listeners who just want to dive into the music.
